A Climate Journey

Boriken (Puerto Rico)

Treecharge is a journey of short stories about teamwork for climate safety and hope.
A journey through science with heart and arts.

Enjoy.

I'm a Boricua inclusion consultant and I advocate for disability expertise in environmental and climate governance.
Connectivity is my bread and butter.
Connectivity opens the door to good governance.
Ready for good governance? Let's talk.

Let's think together about the coolest infrastructure:
Trees
And all the wonders they sustain.

The latest is a fresh call to learn and think about how trees keep our cities safe in the heat.
Photo shows the Plaza de Recreo Alfredo Raffucci in Rincón, Boriken (Puerto Rico). The Plaza is rich in green infrastructure including a couple of Melaleuca citrina trees, known locally as 'Cepillo de Botella'. This Australian tree provides excellent shade for recreational activities, works well in drought prone conditions, and has spectacular red flowers which nurture local pollinators and Boricua birds like the Zumbador.
